Alytus County launches €148 school‑supplies aid and free meals for students
From 1 July, parents in the Alytus region of Lithuania can submit applications for two simultaneous benefits: free school meals for their children and a €148 subsidy to cover school‑supply costs. The programme is administered by the municipality’s Social Support Department and is intended to help families prepare for the new school year and for summer‑camp meals organised by schools. The reminder stresses that families should file the paperwork early to avoid missing the assistance before the end of the summer period.
The €148 support can be used for items such as backpacks, notebooks, pencils and other essential school materials, reducing the financial burden on households at the start of the academic term.
